He also serves as Director of Studies for Université Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) and advisor to ENS's director.

Anglès' research synthesizes comparative literature, cultural geography, and political history to analyze spatial dimensions of revolt, emphasizing transnational connections between French and American movements. His methodology combines literary geography with geocriticism to explore power structures in sites of memory and emancipation, particularly examining how 1960s spatial practices inform contemporary identity politics and environmentalism.

His publications in The Washington Post, Le Monde, and Revue Esprit demonstrate applied expertise in cultural history and film analysis, focusing on May 1968's legacy and feminist intellectual traditions through accessible scholarly commentary.

Key recognitions include:

• Graduate research grant at Columbia University for archival work
• Association Française d’Etudes Américaines (AFEA) grant (2024) supporting research at Yale Beinecke Library

As an educator, Anglès teaches at Sciences Po and ENS-PSL while directing PSL's academic strategy. His current projects involve transatlantic research mobilities including Maison française d’Oxford (2023) and completion of his doctoral thesis "Going Places: Self-narrative, space and revolt of the 1960s".

He maintains active affiliation with Laboratoire de Poétique et de Médiologie (LPM) and Ecole Doctorale Lettres, Arts, Sciences humaines et sociales (ED540), contributing to interdisciplinary research on literary geography and spatial theory.
